He wasn't fired. He stepped down because of the uproar not in Mozilla itself but in the user communities. Because that's what the shareholders care about, disgruntled employees don't affect the share value but a dark shadow over the brand does.
I was personally also happy to see him go. You can't be inclusive when you try to deny people you have nothing to do with their equality.
I don't agree I'm not inclusive. I don't mind if other people have other opinions. I'm totally fine if they go to church, want to stay in the closet if they're gay etc. They're not doing themselves any favours but that's fine. I'm not trying to stop them from marrying.
Where it gets exclusive is trying to prevent other people from being what they are by campaigning for laws. The figurehead (not just any employee!) of an organisation that purports to be inclusive shouldn't be doing that. It's not opinions but limiting other people's rights that I have a problem with. It's the same reason I won't buy things from Musk.
When I said I was glad he left I was a bit harsh though, true. I would have been fine if he had stayed and disavowed his actions.
